Margaret "Peggy" Fox

Poland - Margaret “Peggy” Fox, 92, of Poland, passed away on Sunday, August 18, 2024, at the Christian House Home Health and Assisted Living in East Palestine.

Born May 1, 1932, in Poland, Ohio, she was a daughter of the late Lloyd Sr. and Mildred (Ramage) Newell.

Peggy attended Poland schools and later graduated from Choffin Nursing School. She met the love of her life, Lawrence T. Fox, Sr. and they were married on August 27, 1948, at Poland Center Little Red School House. 

She was a LPN at both Southside and Northside Hospitals for 30 years until her retirement in 1997. She took pride in displaying tender love and care to each patient for whom she cared.

Throughout Peggy’s life, she always put others before herself. Family was one thing that was most important to Peggy. She loved going on trips with her family in their motor home to numerous destinations in the United States. She enjoyed hosting her family for the holidays, family dinners and reunions. There’s no doubt that Peggy’s greatest joy was being a loving mother, Grandmother, and "GG."

She was a member of the Poland Christian Church and enjoyed playing cards with the Holy Family Seniors Group. 

She leaves behind to cherish her memory, her children, Lawrence Fox Jr. “Butch”, Michael (Laurie) Fox, and Lucinda “Cindy” Fox, all of Poland; grandchildren, Heidi Thompson, Lawrence III “Butchie” (Amanda) Fox, Beth (Matt) Mason, Becky (Bill) Gaither and Mike Jr. (Anne) Fox; great-grandchildren, Markeshia, Stacia, George, Ashlynn, Cameron, Logan, Ben, Jack, and Walter; great-great-grandchildren, Terren, Mia, Maya-Lynne, Jackson, Braxton, Greyson, George, Gannon, and Griffin.

In addition to her husband and parents, she was preceded in death by her siblings and their spouses, Lloyd (Eileen) Newell, Betty (Ernest) Cikovich, Lillian (Bill) Berdie and Caroline (John) Cowden; and daughter-in-law Kathy Fox.

Calling hours will be held on Sunday, August 25, 2024, from 12:00 p.m. until 1:45 p.m. with a memorial service to follow at 2:00 p.m. at the Davidson-Becker Funeral Home, 11 Spring St., Struthers, OH 44471. She will be interred privately with her husband at Poland Riverside Cemetery.

The family would like to extend sincere gratitude to the Christian House for their wonderful care of Peggy the past two years.
